About Morwenstow

Morwenstow, a scatter of dwellings clinging to the Cornish coast, holds a wilder spirit than its placid name might suggest. It lies 8.5 km north of Bude (from Bude: bearing 358°T, OS grid SS 208 150), and is situated north-west of Woodford village. The air here, thick with the tang of salt and gorse, seems to carry the echoes of smugglers and ancient mariners, a constant murmur against the roar of the Atlantic. The parish church of St Morwenna and St Nectan, a sturdy granite edifice, stands sentinel over the rugged landscape, its stones warmed by a sun that often struggles to pierce the sea mist. In years past, the land sustained a hardy folk through fishing and farming, a life dictated by the tides and the seasons, a rhythm now softened but not entirely forgotten in the quiet lanes of Morwenstow.
